Munich (Germany) loves LibreOffice
Afer careful risk-assessment, the capital of Munich has decided to migrate from OpenOffice to LibreOffice.In favour of that decision, among others, was the greater flexibility of the project regarding consumption of open source licenses.Beyond that, Munich wants to rely on large and vibrant communities for any Open Source product it employs.

Migration ProtocolMigrating from MS Office to LibreOffice is a complex endeavour, which must be supported by a project management professional skilled in every area of the process
Migration starts from the analisys of the situation, and gets to the final stage through a number of clear steps: communication, identification of power users, training, pilots, rollout and support
